If you’re in the mood for a beach vacation full of salty air and sandy feet, then South Walton is the getaway location for you! Suncatcher is a charming Santa Rosa Beach vacation home in the Sunrise Beach neighborhood. It features cozy accommodations, including three bedrooms and three baths and a wide-open floor plan, lovely balcony, and private pool. It can host up to 11 guests for a relaxing vacation with family or friends.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a white picket fence and lush landscaping that radiates an old-school beach charm. In the front, a columned veranda with outdoor furnishings provides a comfortable setting for relaxing, casual dining and drinks, and hanging out with your fellow vacationers. Inside, the main living area is located on the second floor. Full-length windows and glass doors filter in plenty of sunlight that brightens the space. Glass doors lead to a covered balcony, complete with white rocking chairs and side tables. Back indoors, the living room has a vibrant blue wraparound couch and accent chair with an ottoman. The seating ensemble is centered around a glass-topped coffee table and faces a smart TV (live TV not provided). Next to the living room, a formal dining table and eight ladder-backed chairs make up the dining area. Hardwood floors extend into the kitchen, which offers ample space to cook up new and old-favorite recipes. The kitchen has white appliances, granite countertops, and an island with stool seating.
In addition to a warm and welcoming great room, guests will love the comfy sleeping quarters. On the first floor, one guest bedroom includes a king-size bed, twin bunk, coastal décor, and access to the private pool patio. The other first-floor guest bedroom is great for the kids, as it has two twin bunks. The master suite is located upstairs, and it has a king-size bed, twin day bed with trundle, vaulted ceiling, wall-mounted smart TV (live TV not provided), and access to the balcony.
Another benefit of staying at Suncatcher is the private pool. A sundeck surrounds the pool with cozy lounge chairs. There is a furnished, shaded patio that overlooks the pool, as well. A BBQ grill is provided for making your own poolside Surf n’ Turf meal. When you’re not soaking up the sun by the pool, you can head down to the beach, which is less than a one-minute stroll away. Seasonal complimentary beach service is also provided that includes four chairs and two umbrellas. Other fun nearby places to visit are Draper Lake for paddle boarding and fishing, Gulf Place Town Center for dining and shopping, and the cute coastal towns of Scenic Highway 30A for exploring.

This house had everything we were looking for. Heated salt water pool, a view of the ocean, a short walk to the beach, a quiet neighborhood, walkable shops and restaurants, and room for us to be together. Was absolutely perfect and would come back again and again!!

Thank you for staying with Ocean Reef Resorts and providing this valuable feedback. We hope that your travels bring you back to the beautiful shores again soon.
We enjoyed our stay at Suncatcher. The location is perfect for us, and this house is nice and clean with an easy and short walk to the beach. Here are 2 suggestions for this particular house to make it more guest friendly: add 1 more chair and side table to the living area and replace the kitchen faucet with a more useable faucet with a pull-out/flexible sprayer.

Great to hear about your stay! Thanks for the feedback and we hope to have you and your family back soon!
We had a pretty unpleasant stay through the week and we have YET to hear back from management or anyone for that matter!!
Upon checking in, the security/fire alarm(s) began going off and we initially attributed it to incorrectly disengaging the pool door as it eventually went away. But no, to our demise while in bed/sleeping more than once we were awaken abruptly!! We had an itinerary and spent a good bit of time at beach so managed to ignore it but the noise pollution was UNBEARABLE! The worst part is that in their internal records, this was recorded as actively happening before we even checked in!
Fast forward, and it became more and more constant and our relaxing getaway time was ruined, not to mention work calls that were constantly interrupted. Eventually spoke to property management and someone came at midnight to get issue resolved. Also looks like their state regulated pool alarms were not functional. Hmmm.
To this day, a week later, STILL waiting for someone to reach out, after our constant attempts at communicating, on how they intend to remedy the injustice in our expected peaceful stay.

We are very sorry that you ran into this problem during your stay. Looking back into our records on the first day of your stay upon arrival of our technitian all operable smoke alarms in the home were not chirping and he was unable to hear anything at each single one. Our after hours technitian was able to find the source and the alarm that you were hearing was stuffed into a closet possibly by a previous guest. It was not our intention to have your sleep interupted. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We hope to see you again soon!
